I shook my head. “No. I’m just wondering how we’re going to pull this off. We don’t know where they’re keeping Maisie. And even if we find out, they’ll be expecting us. You guys sure you don’t want to back out now?”
Giguhl grinned and threw an arm around Valva’s shoulders. “You’re joking, right? You’re stuck with me whether you like it or not.”
Valva smiled wickedly and nodded. As Maisie’s familiar, she had a right to come, too. Of course, I was sure Giguhl might have had something to do with her easy agreement.
I looked at Adam. His face was somber. For a split second, I thought he’d be the voice of reason and back out. But then his trademark grin returned. “We’re a team, Red.”
A spark of guilt ignited in my gut. I didn’t deserve Adam’s loyalty. In fact, I didn’t deserve Giguhl’s or Valva’s, either. But, I decided, I sure as hell needed them. And now that I’d gotten my head out of my ass, I planned on doing everything in my power to deserve it from here on out.
“All right,” I said, a second wind of adrenaline warming my insides. “Let’s go get my sister back.”
